Thread where we complain/express disappointment about things

[holly116]

I was trying to get DS1 down for a nap and my SIL and DD thought it'd be a great time to be all loud right outside his room, even after I not so nicely requested that everyone go the eff downstairs. So now he believes he's missing something and screaming instead of napping. I'm annoyed and plopped him down with DH to deal with, and surprise, his approached didn't work either so the screaming has continued. I'm taking the afternoon to run errands by myself, I've had too many people in my house for too long.

I feel you. I can't wait to take Dd to Disney. We don't live too far but H has no interest in taking her now since she won't remember it. I get the logic with that, but she will still enjoy it and that is all that I want. My family used to take lots of trips to Disney and it was a big part of my childhood but they really don't have any interest in going with us and that really bums me out. When I was young we took big family trips with all my cousins and I'm so sad DD won't have that since we all aren't close and I have no siblings.

@bunnybean what about opening a travel rewards cc? You would get a large amount of points that should mostly cover the flights and then use the points you earn with your regular spending to pay for some of the other stuff?

It's too hot! The AC is at 75 and IMO its too hot for clothes even under a fan so I'm planning on spending the day in panties & a sports bra.

I just want to complain about vhcol. I knew 3 kids would be expensive but I feel like it's really hitting us now. I just paid $963 for 10 swim lessons for each kid. Granted these are semi private lessons versus a group class but it's not costing much more than the group classes J has been taking at the Y. Im really doing it so that I can take all 3 kids to 1 lesson rather than taking up 2 weekend days with one lesson for J and another for the girls. (I guess there is my other complaint, logistics with 3 kids) So yes, I'm paying a slight premium for the convenience, but still. The kids need a physical activity to help with the hypotonia and the pt said swimming is great for it.

Activites for 3 kids is adding up. The girls normally have speech on Thursday morning and I want to ask if we can move it to another day so that my mom can take them to the FREE library story/craft hour on Thursdays.

I am disappointed that dd2 has been teething for over a year and only has 8 teeth. It is taking freaking forever.

Ugh, I'm right there too. The girls still 0nly have 4 full teeth. They have about 4 each barely poking through but it's taking so long! I'm tired of giving them advil every night just so they will sleep.

Some lady at church I've never met had the balls to be like "what's that all about?" re: P's constraint wrap. I still suck at concisely answering those questions. Also MYOB.

Proper response: Are you always this rude?

I've been sick for a week now so I had to skip all my runs since last Monday and it makes me sad since I love running and I need to get my miles in for my half marathon. Tomorrow is my birthday and I really want to get my run in but I'm not sure if I will feel up to it or if I will have time. If I feel better, I will be guilting DH into watch DS so that I can run.

[Marmee]

My girls have been acting like spoiled brats. They don't deserve a trip to CA so I'm not taking them. Now I'm mad **I** don't get to go.

[mlvmd]

I just bought a clek fllo car seat and DS2 vomited in it on our second trip. Good news, it does clean as easily and well as it purports.

What lottery did I win to get two kids who get terribly car sick all the time and refuse to sleep at night?

[MadamePresident]

I hate women's sizing. I tried to buy undies for me yesterday, but got a size that's too small.

We have too much stuff and are somehow too lazy to manage an even moderately tidy household during the week. I need like a week of kid free time to purge our entire house and try to get back into some order, but that will not happen for a long, long, time. And I am in the hole at work from ML so I can't take random days off here and there either. This is mostly related to just being exhausted and lazy in the evening after everyone is in bed but I realize more than ever how much my mom did to keep our house clean!

I'm annoyed that my mom volunteered/got suckered into going to stay with my (quadriplegic/paralyzed) uncle to take care of him for two weeks... right when I am due with 2.0. I didn't really need her help last time because it was only one really easy baby who slept well. But this time I will have a 20 month old running around who will need a lot of attention. H can only take 1 week of vacation because unpaid for an extended period of time isn't an option.
My uncle's girlfriend that he lives with is going to a volleyball tournament and he needs nighttime help when the nurses don't come. So my mom is going.
Duh, it is nice of her to help and she isn't required to come stay with me for a week or something, but dang I was really hoping she could come for a week after H goes back so I could have a little more time to heal & sleep. H's mom will help but it's different having someone not my mom around for extended periods of time, plus she doesn't like to play with the kids for longer than a couple hours at a time. I'm going to have to cobble together friends & family to play with L for the week or two after H goes back to work.

A shit tonne of homework is due between now and Friday. I don't want to do it. But I have to. ? so over it.

I stil don't have my preceptor assignment for this fall and I'm super anxious about it. Hurry up!!!

[cricketwife]

I did TON of purging about a month before the MMM tidying craze and it makes me sad that I can't post pictures and brag about my success.

[starburst]

My mom was worried that DS is autistic because he likes to be held and cries when he's put down. No mom, that's called being a newborn baby.

[jeaniebueller]

My husband has been out of town the last two days on guys trip and I am just exhausted. Part of it is because he's been working a ton lately so I've been mostly single parenting at night, doing all the pick ups and drop offs and DS's activities. I am just over parenting right now. And I mentioned this in the randoms post, but I have a girls weekend coming up this weekend, so it's not like I can legitimately complain. Serenity now.

Also, even though I think the not your father's root beer is good, I don't think it's OMG worthy like everyone is acting like. I could drink maybe two of them, but if I drink more than two, I could get a bad hangover I've a feeling.

[jenn248]

I have a cold. You know, because being 38+ weeks pregnant wasn't enough fun on its own.

[cincodemayo]

I have a pimple on my back that is juuuust out of reach and it hurts every time i lean my back into a chair.

[noodleskooze]

I'm realizing that if I want to keep my job, I'm going to have to choose between having a second kid or having a short commute. We can't afford both.

Dude we love to HEAR about all the stuff people got rid of too!

Well at least @stilljustash and I do

[meltoine]

I'm annoyed that this month is going to be so $$$.

I just got done with an unexpected $1400 car repair the other day when I came home to an HVAC unit that wasn't working. Another $$ repair, and now we're dipping into savings to pay for the last few baby things we need that I was planning to cash flow.

Plus I have no energy to cook or grocery shop, so we've been getting too much takeout. Blech.

[niq]

Mancolds really are the WORST!

[SallySparrow]

FIL and Step-MIL stopped by today. We knew they were going to. But it was during naptime, so I didn't get my nap. I am so tired.

ETA: AND I still can't find giant chewy sweet tarts.

[djc315]

I want to declutter my house, but it seems like everything that needs to be sorted through is all DHs. Who, of course, has no interest in decluttering.

[rugbywife]

I am at the cottage still. First day that the weather is awesome. I have the runs . Water is like 100 steps down and I am afraid to go down and not make it up in time. We go home tomorrow. Boooooo.

[magpie]

our babysitter stood us up last night...on my BIRTHDAY! It was sad. I was all dressed up and ready for a special date night and then...she just never showed up and her phone was off. We got hold of her 45 minutes later and she was so, so sorry, she had spaced out and forgotten that she was supposed to come. She offered to rush over as fast as she could, but at that point, I'd already changed and H was mixing cocktails to make the best of a post-bedtime date at home. She felt terrible and she doesn't even know that it was my birthday!

[waterchurch]

Why is organic bread so different. I'm trying to humor my mom who's afraid something awful will happen to us with regular wheat because of something they spray it with or something. But every organic brand I've tried is all cardboard-y. Sorry mom. I can't do it.

My bellini this morning did not have enough booze in it.
